How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.

The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!
Ansel Adams
Image
To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.
Ansel Adams
Image
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams
Image
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
Ansel Adams
Image
The negative is the score, and the print the performance.
Ansel Adams
Image
The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated in a glowing world between the macro and the micro.
Ansel Adams
Image
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
